The G7 X was released 4 years earlier than the K-1 II which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Canon G7 X being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Pentax K-1 II being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before diving into a more detailed comparison, here is a short summation of how the G7 X grades versus the K-1 II with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Generally, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing technical specs. The pic here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the G7 X and K-1 II.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G7 X because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Pentax K-1 II will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 16 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged G7 X will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
